Re: New Seat Installation
Hey John,
Yeah, I've driven it. I like to sit low, but I'm also built like Grape Ape (6'2" 265lbs). I like to have my arm just below my shoulder when the window is down, and this is what worked for me. I also placed my eyes in the center of the windsheild from top to bottom. I would suggest to everyone to try different heights with some blocks or spacers before welding everything. I sat higher with thicker seats and my knees were in my chest most of the time. When I had the 3-speed it wasn't so bad, but now with 5 gears, it was getting to be rediculous. I also had to stick my head down by the dash to see red lights. It's a lot nicer now.
The coolest thing about this set-up to me is that it's totally custom but uses only the stock bolt holes. All of my other brackets were one off and each was different. I spent half the day welding up holes that I'd drilled in the floor over the years. Now if I can find a rust free cab, all I have to do is switch the seats over. ---Jeff
